ABSTRACT
The MKS (meter, kilogram, and second) and CGS (centimeter, gram, and second) systems of units are presently in use in the scientific community. In order to illustrate the two systems of units, let’s consider Maxwell’s equations as the common denominator between the two systems of units. The four Maxwell’s equations supplemented by three constitutive relations produce seven equations. Maxwell’s equations are usually written in the form shown below.
